Sorry, Muse, my comment has nothing to do with this post but for the last few days whenever I go directly to your blog http://www.musingsofamuse.com I only see the “Hai!” post and none of the newer posts. I can only see the newer posts if I go to your twitter feed and click on the link. Is that happening to anyone else?

I’ll be getting both. The rouge for me and I’ll give the lippie to my oldest daughter who looks fab in red. (I just can’t wear it). This packaging is so retro. I can remember being a little girl and seeing this type of packaging on my Grandmother’s dressing table. (that was back in the 1960’s haha). They really did do a good job on retro packaging.

phewwwwwwww sorry about that! I refreshed cache my side but I don’t think that was what helped ya…must have been a fluke! I know IE is having issues :-/ blah! burp! Trying to clear this up sorry about that!

packaging & the colours themselves are calling meeeee… drrooooollll. nice retro look, kinda cool to be a ble to enjoy that little lavish in life.
cant wait for the swatches. i bet they will really look good on ya, muse. =)

Oooooh. Can’t wait to see the review. I’m crushing on the blush! I think they walk the line between retro and oldladyish too, but I kinda like it I’ve always said that I’m a Memaw stuck in a 20something’s body!

The rouge compact is so gorgeous. Reminds me something my grandmother would have used when she was young. I really wish companies would make gorgeous packaging like that and allow us to refill them. I know I’d pay a bit more for the original product if it were beautiful and would last me for years.

When you review the compact, would you mind noting if it is refillable (and if it is the same size as other powder pans that you know of)? If the compact could be refiled with another product, I would definitely buy it! So cute!

i love the packaging.. but maybe that is because i associate my grandma’s “old lady packaged cosmetics” with retro, for lack of a different influence? i read estee lauder took inspiration from their actual 60s packaging, though, so that should be authentic then..

i hope they created a true-to-time colour and smell, that would be fantastic! swatches please, dear muse!

I’ll be curious to see your take on the lipstick. I received mine two days ago and it’s far more pink than any of the pics I’ve seen. I’m wondering if the pics aren’t showing it accurately or if I got one from a batch where the color was off.
